Food Network's Butterflied Turkey With Apple-Cranberry Glaze

  1. Prepare the turkey a day or two before roasting: Bring 3 quarts water, the salt, brown sugar, coriander seeds, star anise, peppercorns, ginger and garlic to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar.
  2. Remove from the heat and add 4 cups cold water; cool to room temperature.
  3. Place the turkey in a large container, pour the brine over it, cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. Remove the turkey, dry it well and pat all over with the ground coriander.
  5. Let dry in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Make the glaze: Bring the cider, ginger, cranberries, chiles, molasses and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  7. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thick, whisking occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  8. Strain the glaze and season with salt.
  9. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees .
  10. Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan and roast 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 155 degrees to 160 degrees .
  11. Continue roasting, brushing with the glaze every 10 minutes, until brown and crisp, about 30 more minutes.
  12. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
  13. Alternatively, grill the turkey: Preheat a grill to medium on one side.
  14. Place the turkey breast-side up on the cooler side of the grill (position a drip pan under the grate), cover and cook until 165 degrees , about 1 hour 20 minutes.
  15. Brush with the glaze and grill, uncovered, 10 more minutes.
  16. Heat the remaining glaze with any pan drippings in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the butter.
